Behavioral Presentation
HR reached out to me first to see if I'd be interested in interviewing with the hiring manager. After that, I had an interview with them a few days later. About a month later, I was interviewed by a panel of about 15 managers during a conference in Orlando, FL. The week following the conference, I had another interview in Austin, TX.

The interview process was quite drawn out and lacked professionalism. There were issues with very senior interviewers not showing up on time, causing delays of about 30 minutes. The final round took place, but it took over two weeks to receive any feedback.

Standard HR phone call where the recruiter seemed to be trying to guess my age. The recruiter then downplayed my experience because the offered salary wasn't competitive for an experienced PM. They also didn't understand my product lines or how they related to Emerson products.
